The power of the Executive to cast a man in prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government, whether Nazi or Communist or Conservofacsist....

Does being a sportscaster mean that he can't have his own opinion? Does it mean that what he's saying isn't true? Last time I checked even sportscasters were able to see what's going on around them!

What a brilliant piece of commentary. I used this speech as a primary source in a paper I wrote on the Military Commissions Act of 2006 for my International Human Rights class. Olbermann really does nail his points, and the evidence he cites is, as he would say, inescapable. Bush and company like to tell us that we should let history judge the actions his administration has taken, but what good is historic perspective when, even now, its obvious lessons aren't being heeded?
